Not wise to the ways of the wild, I was not doing a good job of living out on my own, but my luck changed that cold winter evening, when a car pulled over and a guardian angel got out and called to me. After being unsure at first of the intentions of this stranger, I soon saw that the stranger's heart was good and her hands were warm and friendly. I took a chance and let her put me in her car. It was the right thing to do! Now, under her loving care I am thriving and have discovered the joy of toys, fuzzy toys, squeaky toys, round toys and did I mention just how much I love cookies?? I am a sweet, loving and gentle guy who is learning to wiggle and bounce as all silly young Boxer boys must do. Now all I need is a forever home is that home yours? I have a lot of love to offer the right family remember, I am a jolly good Fella!Bio:Fella has passed on because he had heartworms really bad. If only someone would have loved him enough to give him a pill once a month then he would still be with us. If only..... Please let people know that heartworms are no joke and they are very deadly!!Forums Motto:Will Work For CookiesTo See Other Adoptable Dogs Visit:http://www.blueridgeboxerrescue.co m/availabledogs2.html

My Diary

Okay, I'm really new at doing these write up things, so this is probably going to be pretty rough. My foster mom has promised she will do the next one, or at least help me w/it. Anyway, my name is Fella Stedman, or that's what they're calling me now. This really nice lady found me running loose & after some coaxing on her part got me into her car & brought me home w/her. The people at BRBR then welcomed me intowhat I've been told is a rescue group & they said this meant they were going to help me get better & find a new home w/a wonderful family that would take care of me. I'm not sure exactly how long I've been on my own but I know I look a little rough right now w/all the weight I've lost & the scars on my legs & body. They also tell me I've got something called heartworms that are making me feel so lousy but that besides giving me food & shelter they're also going to help me get rid of those nasty things. I'm a little down in my spirit right now, which everybody says is u!
nderstandable, but they keep saying they're going to get that "boxer wiggle" back, whatever that is. My foster mom runs something called a kennel so there are all these other dogs around all the time but I haven't met very many of them so far; they say I'm too sick for right now. I got to go meet some new people the other weekend & they showed me something called a toy box but I've never seen anything like it before & didn't know what to do w/all the things in it. I'm a little leery of folks right at the beginning but I do warm up to you & they say that after I've been here for a while I won't even have this problem; I hope so, I think I like this getting attention thing, it's nothing like what I've been used to. Okay, I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to tell you about me right now so I'm just going to stop here & wait & let me foster mom help me/do a real one later on. I just wanted to say Hi & let you know I was here.

After meeting him in person I do believe he is younger than I first thought. He is just a big pup...about a year old at best and just as sweet as sugarpie! He is still very leary of life and heck who can blame him. He has scars that just broke my heart and one of his legs looks as though he had been caught in barbed wire...that is all healed up now so I do believe this guy has been on his own for a while, either than or he led a life more horrible than can be imagined if he sustained these injuries while with a previous owner. But after a short time and with the help of some doggie cookies, he warmed up to me and by the time I left, I was getting some pretty fantastic hugs. He is learning to relax a little and even found the toybox while I was there and that natural Boxer curosity came shining through, as he found himself a Cuz to play with. Have I mentioned I love this guy?? LOL, he will make someone a fantastic kid one day and I will be jealous of who ever gets to be his forever Mom, that is for sure.
